..............well i fitted some rascal springs to the rear of my sammy the other day and its improved the height somewhat and now im wondering if another set of rascal rear springs will fit on the front despite the front springs being some 30mm shorter in length.

iv not seen the rascal springs so dont know but cant see why they wouldnt if the rear was a straight swap

I was on about rascal rear springs on the front of an SJ alan

You what mate
I reckon you'd have a lot of trouble as they're too long. How would you get them to align with the chassis mounting holes and the shackle holes?
You'd have to put a lot of bend on them and even if you managed, what would the ride be like? It'd probably be very hard and bumpy as the shackles would already be pushed all the way forward.
I think if it was me, I'd either buy the correct sized uprated springs, add-a-leafs or use the removed rear springs leafs to boost the standard front ones.

However, until you try these things, I suppose you can never really know if it's possible or how it'd go. Let us know what you decide, and if you go the route of Rascal rear springs fitted to the front of your SJ, please, please, please do a pictorial coz I could really do with a laugh watching you attempt to shoe horn them springs in _________________Alan

Im gonna try and get the old rear ones on first and if i cant ill use the add a leafs ive bought!!!!!_________________Ive created a monster.............

could you not split the spring packs and use the sj top leaf with the rascal leaves on the front?

gotta ba worth a try?

well i could do that,but i got add a leafs on the way so ill use them.

however,i tried the sj rear springs on the front and by moving the axle forward 30mm and using 2" extended shackles they went on but youd need to cut a bit out of the buttresses to allow movement on the shocks.

So rascal springs will fit on the front with a few tiny modifications.

Im not up for it now as ive paid for add a leafs but on my next sammy who knows _________________Ive created a monster.............
